Work Experience Work Experience & Placements

Work Experience within the NHS offers an excellent opportunity to gain an insight into the wide range of Health Care professions. Did you know that there are around 350 different careers options within the NHS!

We offer opportunities for work experience across the region of Cumbria and North Lancashire. We offer two different types of work experience.

For participants aged 14-16years, we offer the Under 16 Work Experience Programme. This lasts a maximum of one week. The programme is specifically targeted at young people between the ages of 14-16 and focuses on bringing health situations to life through realistic simulated environments. The emphasis is on developing an understanding of a range of different NHS Health Care Careers.

For participants over the age of 16, we offer the 16+ Observational Work Experience. This lasts for a maximum of one week and would be observational only.

If you are interested in either of these, please get in touch ruth.keeler@mbht.nhs.uk and victoria.lumley@mbht.nhs.uk.
